Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.0.2+cvs20100307-1 Severity: normal hi, My main desktop environment is icewm, and I didn't find a way to have xdg-email working: it always ends up opening a webbrowser.
open_generic behaviour does not seem ideal because webbrowsers usually don't known how to open mailto links, and if a webbrowser calls xdg-email to manage mailto links, that could result in an endless loop (maybe?) Also, even when not running gnome or xfce, gvfs-open and exo-open are both configured on my system, and work correctly. I don't know what's the best way to have xdg-email work correctly on generic desktops: if bug #353587 is fixed, that will be easy to implement; otherwise, may be use and parse a custom environment variable (MUA? MAILER?); otherwise, still try open_gnome, open_kde and/or open_xfce in generic case. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash xdg-utils depends on no packages.
